The concept of nuclear pharmacy was first described in 1960 by Captain William H. Briner while at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.Along with Mr. Briner, John E. Christian, who was a professor in the School of Pharmacy at Purdue University, had written articles and contributed in other ways to set the stage of nuclear pharmacy.
A nuclear pharmacist adds anywhere from 50 - 100 mCi of Na[99m TcO 4] to the reaction vial to make the final product, in the pH range of 3.8 to 8.0. After being allowed to react at room temperature for 15 minutes to ensure maximum labeling of the human albumin with 99m Tc, the kit can then be diluted with sterile normal saline as needed.
Radiopharmacies may be hospital-based or stand-alone facilities, and in many cases will subsequently distribute 99m Tc radiopharmaceuticals to regional nuclear medicine departments. Development in direct production of 99m Tc, without first producing the parent 99 Mo, precludes the use of generators; however, this is uncommon and relies on ...
A list of nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals follows. Some radioisotopes are used in ionic or inert form without attachment to a pharmaceutical; these are also included. There is a section for each radioisotope with a table of radiopharmaceuticals using that radioisotope.
A radionuclide generator is a device which provides a local supply of a short-lived radioactive substance from the decay of a longer-lived parent radionuclide.They are commonly used in nuclear medicine to supply a radiopharmacy. [1]
